Natchez Trace Hiking Trails

Hiking Trails and self-guided nature walks can be found along the entire length of the Natchez Trace Parkway. Some of the short walks take you through some of the natural wonders found along the Trace. There are several places where you can walk a preserved section of the Old Trace. And, there are three sections of the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail where horseback riding and hiking can be enjoyed.
